This book contains some very basic information which can easily be found in greater detail on the web. There is nothing new in what is presented. Organization is good, details are often skimmed over, and typographical errors abound. Likewise, some of his definitions are lacking. Partial mashing is more than just steeping grains. Better choices for beginning brewers would be Palmer’s “How to Brew” or Papazian’s books.

Alright so first of all, my brother who is my partner in crime, we had no idea you could even brew at home. He and I assumed it only happened in some backwood shed with wooden barrels. This completely changes what you think about brewing beer. We have used our experiences with this book to have people over, start conversations with strangers, and connect with other people who do the hobby.

That’s just it actually, How to Make Beer Like a Pro has given me a whole new hobby. I feel like a beer guru or scientist when I’m brewing my beer. The author was really good at being specific and thorough about each step so as to minimize waste. This book stays interesting and teaches everything you need to know. My personal favorite is all-grain beer brewing. Definitely try it out for yourself, How to Make Beer Like a Pro leaves no disappointments. Here’s a toast from my brother and I.

I’m very happy I found this book. I bought it and immediately started reading it because I’ve been interested in home brewing for a long time! This is a step by step, informative book on brewing. It starts with the purchasing of equipment. I’m going to start with the beginners and go from there. It gives you method options and I especially loved the pictures that showed me exactly what I should get as well as charts for color that you can use to compare with your brew. It goes step by step through cleaning, bottling, kegging, and ingredients. And as a bonus at the end it lists brewers guilds and associations AND their phone numbers. Also, if you get confused on terms there is a glossary. This is seriously the book to buy if you are considering trying home brewing or if you’ve been doing it already. It is so informative and easy to follow the process. Well done!
